It is about the most personal decision a person can make, and not one another person can second guess.
I feel this way as well. As long as people are comfortable with their decisions, it's up to them.
Thank you for stating it beautifully, Laura.
That's insane troll logic!

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Hil, you should go white water rafting on the Yakagany River! Well, only if it is fairly warm because wet will happen. It should be a pretty time of year for exploring.

I bought some Halloween decorations at the thrift store, including a pair of zombie arm tea light holders!! Score. And I found the first couple of elements for my costume. Most thrillingly, this crazy ass huge black and red skull belt buckle. I was waffling until I found the secret compartment in the back and then I was all WANT TAKE HAVE. But with paying. Struck out on the skirt and top, though, but I'll hit some other thrift stores tomorrow and/or Saturday.

Anybody know anything fun/relaxing to do in Central PA?
How are the local leaves? The big festival in my college town of Clarion, PA (roughly northwest of you) was the Autumn Leaf Festival around this time of year.

Thank you, Connie! I really had no idea how it was spelled, but it was the most awesome rafting trip a few decades ago.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I was thinking about just driving into the mountains and looking at the foliage, but it's still a bit too green for that. I'm pretty sure it's too cold for white water rafting -- it's not supposed to get above 60 degrees, and they're predicting rain all weekend.
So far, I've found some caverns that give tours, but they warn that there are a lot of stairs and it's not accessible to people with disabilities. Also found an environmental center that rehabilitates injured birds, but their website isn't very clear about what you can see if you just drop in without something scheduled. The next weekend, there's some Halloween and fall stuff, included one festival where they use a catapult to hurl pumpkins into a lake.
Aside from that, I've found quite a few different museums of various sorts of antique transportation.

In first world problem news, I thought I had one more yummy chili-apple-salt caramel left.
I was wrong.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I can understand looking at the odds and deciding that the amount of time chemo and radiation might buy you isn't worth it. However, if someone has a cancer that has a good rate of survival with medical treatment and chooses coffee enemas and carrot juice instead, I'm going to argue until I'm sure there's no chance of changing his mind. I also think that television portrayals of cancer treatment usually reflect the state of cancer treatment 30 years ago. If I have one message for people from my experience, it is that chemo and radiation is not that bad.
